Did you run this command from within the "my-simple-cdd" directory? You may also want to use "--auto-profiles NAME" additionally, if you want the preseeding for NAME be applied in all cases. It would be helpful if you could provide your proposed profile in more detail. Ideally, the exact commands you ran and the exact state of the directory you're running them from. > * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or > ineffective)? > > Removed /usr/share/simple-cdd/profiles. Removing /usr/share/simple-cdd/profiles provided by the package is not a supported mode of operation (in general, removing arbitrary files in any package is generally unsupported and likely will cause bugs). If you want to override the built-in profiles, you need to create replacement files (e.g. profiles/default.preseed, profiles/default.*), though I would generally recommend providing additional profiles rather than overriding the default profiles. > * What was the outcome of this action? > > New error: $default_desktop not defined What is reporting this error? > * What outcome did you expect instead? > > I expected that removing /usr/share/simple-cdd/profiles would > force build-simple-cdd to read the profile files in > ~/my-simple-cdd/profiles/NAME.x It will read the profiles from profiles in your working directory, overriding any matching profiles in /usr/share/simple-cdd/profiles. There is no need to break the packages installed files to get it to do this. live well, vagrant
